IMHO KNetAttach should be extensible. IO slaves that are appropriate for this 
sort of wizard should be able to plop a .desktop file somewhere and show up 
in the dialog. even as is, though, it's an encouraging step in the right 
direction...

i'm certainly not the former and questionable for the latter, but:

it would also be nice if it used KWizard to get icons on the buttons, etc.

once this is settled in, perhaps krdc's interface should be changed to reflect 
knetattach to provide a unified look 'n feel among our network connection 
tools.

on the desktop, for one. and once the kio_system speeds up (it takes ~6-7 
seconds to show the main listing of 5 icons on my AMD64 3500!) perhaps make 
that the default $HOME for a konqi profile? a kicker menuext may also be in 
order.

knetattach would get exposure this way as well.
